Geography Test

[Chase]

So if you've seen stuff like this, it is likely apparent to you that people from outside of a region can be very bad at mapping the region We're here to prove this wrong, right.....?

Well no worries if you're no geography genius. This is all supposed to be fun so it's okay if you can't name a single US state/Canadian province/European country ( ). There's no penalty for mistaking Spain for Germany, Hawaii for Alaska, or even labelling Russia as the Soviet Union. So DON'T USE GOOGLE to figure out what you don't know, just make whatever kind of educated guess you're able to.

So what's going on? I'm going to post some blank maps here, and you will try to fill it out to the best of your ability. You can print it out and do it by hand or do it on your computer, your choice! Here they are:

Spoiler:

Canada


USA


Europe (countries)

There's people from all over the world on Boolprop, so if you want to suggest your country/region for this, please do!!

Here's mine:

Spoiler:

Canada and maybe England are the only fun ones for me, I know my US states and I was #1 in my state for European Countries on Quizup for a good month

Spoiler:

Got as many States as I could think of:

[Keika]

Okay, here we go. Wow, I'm not as good at geography as I thought. Way to make myself look ignorant on the internet.

[Teresa]

Here are my guesses. The USA I should know all of them as my company services all 50 states, but there are few that don't seem to stay in one place

Spoiler:

Canada

Spoiler:

Europe

Spoiler:

And it took me a few minutes to realize this was Great Britain

"Canada" Beautifully done, Keika
And nice job Ani-Mei!!

lol, Teresa, you posted that seconds before I tried to post this Not bad, not too bad at all

[Teresa]

Keika beat me to the Canada. That is exactly how my handwritten version went. One of my responsibilities is updating the USA map with state tax rates. We won't discuss the states I got wrong

[Ath]

hahahahaha I failed, I didn't even attempt Canada!

Spoiler:

[Mir_]

Well I thought I'd give this a shot and I basically know nothing about Canada and the US apart from what Texas looks like which I learnt from Spongebob.

Spoiler:

But I'm a bit better with Europe and the UK but my UK is still pretty bad and I'm uncertain whether some of those places are actually where I believe them to be :/

[Ani-Mei]

It hurts me so that my "friends" don't even bother to attempt to learn about my country and yet I know all about theirs. Yes I missed some states and put NM and Arizona in the wrong spots but come on?

[Chase]

Ani-Mei, think of this as a pretest Now everyone knows what they need to study

[Teresa]

I didn't realize England had states (regions, provinces, ?) and my niece was born there

[Keika]

I couldn't even figure out that the map at the bottom was of Great Britain.

[Rosanna]

Chase did you start this just to show off?
Nice job Ani!
Oh my god, Keika "Canada" made me laugh xD
LOL Teresa: north pole, snow and ice and cold
Ath, does that say Florida: Old people? xD It's too small to read!
Mir your Canada one made me laugh :')

Well this was embarrassing. I added in Asia for extra embarrassment

Spoiler:

[Chase]

omg Rosanna you postblocked me AGAIN how is that even POSSIBLE
I didn't make it just to show off, I just wanted to do it since all of the similar experiments already done are hilarious xD But I love geography so :')
My favorite parts of yours were the midwest USA and the incredibly long line that connects Luxembourg to its title

These are great everyone xD

[Rosanna]

LOL omg this time I didn't even try doing it on purpose!
Haha, give Asia a try Chase

[Teresa]

I can tell you Japan and Korea and Australia and New Zealand. I would probably get China and Russia (yes I know this is Europe but I forgot to label it on the Europe map ). I would get India. That would be about it.

[Chase]

I did it, as well as Africa, because why not
(The reason not to: it's really hard )

Spoiler:

[Mir_]

I didn't realize England had states (regions, provinces, ?) and my niece was born there

The UK has counties, I think England itself has 48(?) and there are constituencies too but those are election things (I think)

On another note, how do you all even remember where all the states are??? Whenever I look at a map of the US I can only recognise Texas thanks to everyone's favourite yellow sponge. All those shapes confuse me and don't even get me started on canada

[Ani-Mei]

Where's a Brit when you need them?

[Heather]

Spoiler:

Got as many States as I could think of:

Found the Canadian!
